Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TS 60076-20CommitteePublished year2017KeywordsDescription
IEC TS 60076-20:2017(E) is applicable to transformers in the scope of IEC 60076-1. It proposes two methods of defining an energy efficiency index and introduces three methods of evaluating the energy performance of a transformer. The appropriate method is chosen by agreement between purchasers and manufacturers or according to local regulations.
The contents of the corrigendum of January 2018 have been included in this copy. -
Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63335CommitteePublished year2021Description
IEC TR 63335:2021 identifies a number of issues of particular importance to light water Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are not currently adequately addressed by existing IEC SC 45A standards, and that could be considered when revising existing publications or that could be the object of new work item proposals. Whether each of these issues will indeed be addressed, and if so in which publication, will be the decision of each SC 45A working group. Though there are a number of advanced Generation IV SMR projects underway, their specific needs are not covered by this document.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63292:2020CommitteePublished year2020KeywordsDescription
IEC TR 63292:2020 continues the effort started with the availability technical specification (IEC TS 63019). Availability is closely related to PVPS operational capability, health and condition and to produce energy and is a real-time or historical measure. The availability of a system or component is impacted by contractual and non-contractual reliability specifications, maintenance metrics and a corresponding maintenance and repair strategy, and also external factors such as site environmental and grid conditions. The intention of this document is to be a precursor examination of the reliability issues for further address in a task to produce an IEC Technical Specification on this topic. While this document identifies reliability tools, topics and procedures, there are commercial products available to perform analyses and there is no assessment of those tools or to provide recommendations for one tool over another in this document.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63279:2020CommitteePublished year2020KeywordsDescription
IEC TR 63279:2020 reviews research into sequential and combined accelerated stress tests that have been devised to determine the potential for degradation modes in PV modules that occur in the field that single-factor and steady-state tests do not show. This document is intended to provide data and theory-based motivation and help visualize the next steps for improved accelerated stress tests that will derisk PV module materials and designs. Any incremental savings as a result of increased reliability and reduced risk translates into lower levelized cost of electricity for PV. Lower costs will result in faster adoption of PV and the associated benefits of renewable energy.

IEC TR 63262(E) provides guidelines for applying unified power flow controllers (UPFC) in power systems. It includes letter symbols, terms and definitions, principles and configurations, design rules, performance requirements for key equipment control and protection, insulation co-ordination, system performance and tests. This technical report applies to the UPFC based on modular multi-level converter (MMC) technology, as well as UPFC based on three-level converter technology.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63227:2020CommitteePublished year2020Description
IEC TR 63227:2020 deals with the protection of PV power supply systems against detrimental effects of lightning strikes and surge voltages of atmospheric origin. In the event that a lightning and/or surge voltage protection is required to be erected, this document describes requirements and measures for maintaining the safety, functionality, and availability of the PV power supply systems.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63226:2021CommitteePublished year2021KeywordsDescription
IEC TR 63226:2021 is intended for use as guidance for reducing fire risks in general and for site-specific needs for buildings with PV systems. In addition to the general recommendations, technical, installation, and maintenance measures can be selected to reach the intended safety level of the PV system and building, depending on the results of a risk assessment. This document contains general information about building related risks and includes measures for reducing those risks. These measures are not general requirements or recommendations. They are explained as a guide for selecting suitable measures depending on the on-site needs.

IEC TR 63225:2019 highlights the problem of incompatibility of connectors for DC-application in photovoltaic systems (DC connectors) produced by different manufacturers. It addresses four particular issues in that context: - background information on incompatibility of DC connectors from different manufacturers; - observations and challenges concerning the handling of DC connectors from different manufacturers; - stakeholders concerned by the incompatibility of DC connectors; - recommendations for long-term standardization and interim measures to address incompatibility of DC connectors.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63214CommitteePublished year2019Description
IEC TR 63214:2019 provides a summary of arguments and a technical basis for the development of a new Human Factors Engineering IEC standard and the alignment of IEC 60964. Based on the provided argumentation, the participating members will vote for such an approach. The proposed content of the new standard provides the basis for fruitful discussion within IEC SC 45A WG 8 and raises interest in the development of the new standard.
The scope of the new HFE IEC standard will follow a holistic approach towards the design of the plant-wide control rooms and all HMI, including e.g. the local control stations located throughout the plant. The general principle is to consider the complete nuclear installation design as a sociotechnical system, in a holistic and integrated way.Technology -
Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 63192CommitteePublished year2019Description
IEC TR 63192:2019 provides the comparison of the hazard analysis requirements between IAEA framework and NRC-IEEE framework of standards and guidance. The hazard analysis requirements in the different standards were compared with a set of comparison criteria, including the safety principle, the safety process, the definitions, the hazard analysis process, etc. This document includes the comparison results of the HA requirements of the safety control systems of other safety industries in Annex C.
For a nuclear power plant, the design safety and operation safety shall be analyzed, for example, to meet the IAEA Safety Requirements for Design (SSR-2/1) and Operation (SSR‑2/2). The scope of this document is to survey the state of the art in the hazard analysis for the design of I&C system of NPPs.Technology
